Claudio met us on the quayside from a cruise ship, we
had explained that we wanted to get away from the usual tourist spots and see
the "real Sardinia" and have a bit of a walk. He was very
knowledgable and took us to some lovely out of the way places. We had...

“…..one of the best ways of seeing what the island has to offer is to hire a car, walk or to take an "off road" tour. A local young man, named Claudio Desiati, has started a business here in Alghero, offering walking, trekking and nature trail trips, or guided,...

An excursion in the mountains, in a lunar landscape, in the natural habitats of moufflons

Our excursion in moufflon territory starts with an easy walk along a forest rangers’ trail, but gets tougher in the final stretch as we reach the area where the majority of moufflons live.

We set off from an altitude of 1000 meters: a cool start in the summer; a snowy and evocative landscape in the winter.

During the excursion we’ll see moufflons, ravens and eagles and sometimes even vultures in the distance. Among the most interesting stops are: Monte Entu, to view the Gulf of Oristano, the Sinis Peninsula and possibly the east coast of Sardinia; our lunch break near a fresh water spring in a oak forest; an abandoned feeding ground for vultures.

On the way back we can gather chestnuts and the fruits of the strawberry tree (corbezzoli); we’ll also have a chance to see many of the moufflons that live in this area.
